Frances Bean Cobain is Kurt Cobain’s 21-year-old daughter. She has definitely taken after her father as she’s a burgeoning artistic talent in Los Angeles. In April 1994, when her father committed suicide in Seattle, Frances was less than two-years-old. One week previous she last saw her father at a rehab center he was going to in Marina Del Ray, California. Her life since then has certainly been interesting.

2. She Doesn’t Like Nirvana

In an April 2015 interview with Rolling Stone, Frances admitted that “I don’t really like Nirvana that much.” But she did talk about her favorite music, saying “Sorry, promotional people, Universal. I’m more into Mercury Rev, Oasis, Brian Jonestown Massacre. The grunge scene is not what I’m interested in.” Frances does have time for some of her late-father’s offerings “‘Territorial Pissings’ [on ‘Nevermind’] is a f—–g great song. And ‘Dumb’ [on ‘In Utero’] – I cry every time I hear that song. It’s a stripped-down version of Kurt’s perception of himself – of himself on drugs, off drugs, feeling inadequate to be titled the voice of a generation.” During the interview she also spoke about her father’s legacy “Even if I was in a car and had the radio on, there’s my dad. He’s larger than life. And our culture is obsessed with dead musicians. We love to put them on a pedestal. If Kurt had just been another guy who abandoned his family in the most awful way possible . . . But he wasn’t.”

Frances is a talented artist. Her first show was in July 2010 when she debuted a collection called Scumfuck. For the show she went by the pseudonym of “Fiddle Tim.” In one of her first interviews in January 2006 to i-D magazine she went by this name.
